Grant program meeting Wednesday

FREMONT – The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste District will offer grants in the second round of the Competitive Funding Grant Program. The second round grant meeting will be 10 a.m. Wednesday at at the OSS Solid Waste District office, 1875 E. State St. Eligible participants are required to attend a meeting before submitting an application.

Once a recycling program has been established, an agency can apply for funds for products made from 25 percent recycled content. The district cannot fund any privately-owned businesses.

Applicants are required to attend the informational meeting at the district office for this funding round. If a representative does not attend the meeting, the entity can not apply for a grant. Applicants can register by calling the district office at 419-334-7222, toll-free at 888-850-7224 or email assistant director Amy Drummer at ad@recycleoss.org.
